UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rishi Sunak did not clear Home Secretary Suella Braverman's article attacking the Metropolitan Police for its handling of pro-Palestinian protests.
Writing in The Times, Ms Braverman accused the force of applying a "double standard" to its policing of protests.
She claimed aggressive right-wing protesters were "rightly met with a stern response", while "pro-Palestinian mobs" were "largely ignored".
The ministerial code says all major interviews and media appearances, both print and broadcast, should "be agreed with the No 10 Press Office".
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has joined calls for Mr Sunak to sack Ms Braverman over the article.
Sir Keir accused the home secretary of undermining the police and said Mr Sunak was "too weak to do anything about it".
The original article contains 206 words, the summary contains 120 words. Saved 42%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
